2016 Postmortem

(8,166 posts)This is interesting as neither of these issues are of great interest to me (I can hear heads exploding as I type - I do care about fracking but I can't say that I believe Hillary is a big-time pro-fracking advocate.) I will admit, however, that I generally find much of the criticism of Bernie and/or Hillary to be high on venom, low on the "I care" scale. I do appreciate you presenting issues important to you in a relaxed way allowing those who find these issues of import to discuss them reasonably (or not, as is their wont.) The issues I care about are well articulated by Bernie - economic fairness and equality - but Hillary is also right there on these issues (albeit a tad less enthusiastic) but might even be a more effective leader when it comes to implementation. In other words, the differences between the candidates I see being screamed at high decibels are not generally issues that sway me; I haven't committed to either candidate, though I will admit that most arguments as presented on DU tend to turn me away from their favorite candidate. These high-decibel people need to calm the fuck down, they are NOT helping.
